Nurse gave wrong woman abortion -
aja:
A nurse who gave a chemical abortion to a patient who had only come for a consultation has been cautioned.
I have to say I think this is the sort of thing that requires more than a “caution”.
While I agree the punishment should have been worse, had she been working under some leadership I can think of, it would have been hailed as a heckuva job.
Five of these people had a lot of sex at last year’s Comic Con.
Two of them did not.

“What’s great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coca Cola, Liz Taylor drinks Coca Cola, and just think, you can drink Coca Cola, too. A coke is a coke and no amount of money can get you a better coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the cokes are the same and all the cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it.” — Andy Warhol, 1975 (via topherchris)

“We worry too much about sending people to prison. So what if we have more people immured than any other country in Europe? We have the greater need. I wouldn’t boast about it but I wouldn’t go around apologising either. We were the first to have an industrial revolution, therefore the first to have a proletariat. Breed people for the single purpose of manning machinery and you are left with the problem of what to do with them when machines learn to man themselves. Either you re-educate them, recalibrating their aspirations and theology, or you pay them to go on living as they did when they had a function, keeping them poor, drunk and befuddled but idealising their way of life. We have chosen the latter course. We will not talk down to you, we say, we will not teach you how you might to more purpose fill the vacancy of your hours – because that’s elitism – we will simply venerate your salty values and send you to prison when they encroach on ours.” — Howard Jacobson (via alexbalk)
